I decided to scratchbuild an early BTR-90, can't wait two years to see what version enters service. I know that it uses a BMP-2 turret. I have some papermodels to start (a BMP-2 and a BTR-90), I'll use them as blueprints, the problem is: Those paper models are not in 1/35, are just oversized scans, I think they're not even in 1/25 as intended, so I can't just print them and use them. Anyone who has a BMP-2: I need the dimensions of the turret. It is a "frustum of a cone"-like turret, so I need the diameter of the base, the diameter of the roof and the height, with those measures, I can reduce the images I have to 1/35, then print the images in self-stick paper and stick it in styrene sheets, I found this metod in Starship Modellers and I want to try it. Best regards.

Just PM me your email adress. I think I have some 1/35th scale drawings somewhere on my HD that may help you.

Modelpoint BMP-2 turrets were developed accurately according to BTR-90 (early) 1/35 drawing from M-Hobby. Possibly you find it on eBay.

Not again... I didn't asked for a replacement turret, I asked for the diameter of the base, the diameter of the roof and the height of a BMP-2 turret. Best regards.

I've been give these measures: base diameter: 5.9 cm, roof diameter: 4.5 cm, overall height: 1.2 cm... Now, these measures are from the Dragon kit, the person who gave me this emasures told me that Dragon's BMP-2 is based on pictures instead of first hand inspection, and given the dimmensional accuracies on another Soviet kits (T-72, T-80), these measures may not be so accurate... Well, if someone has something more accurate, I'll be waiting for the info. Instead of the three measures, I think the diameter of the base will be enough. Best regards.
